If you're looking for a simple and effective way to make your cleaning not only efficient but also pleasant for the senses, we have an interesting tip for you. A TikTok user named "Uniwersalna11" shared a clever trick that might change your approach to cleaning — and all in a natural way.

The secret of natural scent in cleaning

It all starts with a few easily accessible ingredients that you can find in your kitchen or garden. Dried lavender, mint, cloves, and cinnamon are four natural ingredients that create not only a pleasant scent but also a functional one.

How does it work? Simply prepare a mixture of these herbs and spices, place it in a tissue, tie it up, and throw it into the vacuum cleaner bag. When the vacuum cleaner starts working, the air in your home will be filled with a gentle, fresh scent.

"This simple trick will change your cleaning. Prepare dried lavender, mint, cloves, and cinnamon. Put everything in a tissue, wrap it up, and then throw it into the vacuum cleaner," we hear in the video by the user Uniwersalna11.

In addition to providing a fresh scent, the trick also acts as a deterrent to unwanted bugs. Lavender and mint are natural remedies that effectively discourage insects from appearing in your home. It's a simple solution that not only enhances the atmosphere but can also help in the fight against insects.

While the scent may be intense at first, it will gradually fade. However, you don't have to worry — just replace the sachet of herbs with a new one to enjoy fresh air once again. With this method, you can easily ensure cleanliness and freshness in your home without the use of artificial air fresheners.

Importantly, this method of cleaning is also environmentally friendly. By foregoing chemical air fresheners, you create a space free from unnecessary substances that can negatively impact health, particularly in cases of allergies.
